This weekend, the Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation in Media is hosting an event called “Medieval Days.”

The historic site, which is located in the middle of Ridley Creek State Park, is inviting visitors to “come see what life was really like during the Middle Ages in Europe – to see how 500 years of European culture thrived and changed.”

At “Medieval Days”, various encampments will present aspects of medieval life from the Vikings to the age of Columbus with Romans, Saxons, Normans and Vikings portraying life from this era of Western Civilization.

According to the Plantation’s website, visitors to the event will be able to “witness the changes that technology made by the late Middle Ages by viewing the 15th-century War of the Roses and Irish encampments.”
